I guess if you're going to show the car you might want those filters, but how good are they? I think I remember a discussion some years ago on TC that cut some filters apart and showed their innards. I decided to use a Napa Gold and they have the extra tall version that holds a little more too.

I use Moroso. Baldwin is suppose to make a good HD filter as does Wix. Rumors spread around the track about issues with Fram collapsing and restricting oil flow--same summer a guy lost an engine at Thompson, and blamed the filter. I'm thinking 2008. True or not, don't know, I do know the price of a costly filter ( and Lucas oil ! ) is well under the price of a shot race engine ( or numbers correct ,virgin bore 302) All about period correct, but unless I plan on rolling it on and off the trailer ,sort of refuse to sacrifice the gains that have been made in reliability eg; gaskets-fasteners. ARP Love them blue boxes. And Percy's make a locking header bolt that reallyworks. I guess it still boils down to the use of the car.

NAPA gold is a Wix filter and one of the best according to the drag racing people. I use them on the street cars and re-paint to look more original.

Beautiful work ,you are quite the artist. Forgot Napa put their name on Wix ,what I use on my daily drivers. Even my Zero turn. And you are correct, Wix is a very popular brand around here at the strip via the local engine builders--why I mentioned it. As far as Napa ,my Dad was just telling me he always ran their HD cap/rotor and points with no issues in the Z , and recommend it seeing as I'm going back to the OE distributer. Probably still listed.
